I'm pretty sure no feedback is the norm, not the exception. I've done two coding challenges. One was reasonable and lead to an interview, but I was rejected with no feedback.

Second was kinda ridiculous: implement a stripped-down version of their website, with tests (and production-ready, of course). They claimed it could be done in 4 hours, which is probably true for all the devs that work there, since they already know exactly what's involved. I spent ~8 hours on it and submitted something that worked but had problems, which I documented thoroughly. Again, rejected with no feedback.

Were you interviewing in Brisbane, Australia? Sounds very similar to a recent experience of mine.
